Yes I know what you mean - I've often thought the same myself as I've been making longer un-repeatable recordings.
Either of you could "vote" for that if you wanted to. But writing while recording could potentially endanger the recording.

Have you considered using some macro tool to do that job?
No need - perissos didn't understand when he wrote that the 1.2 Recovery Utility pieces the AU files together into a WAV.

Yes, and that's why I dream rather than vote ...
and rely on automatic recovery

Thanks for all of your replies. Gale suggested using the file manager utility above for managing the data files, which allowed me to sort by 'date_hr:min:sec'. It was the 'seconds' sorting that I needed, so that all the files were arranged chronologically.
The file is now reassembled, fixed and ready to roll.
Hopefully, as pointed out above, this version of Audacity will be more stable than the past ones.
Thanks 'waxcylinder' for your tips...brilliant.
all the best, Jerry
